Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40mm vs Burris Fullfield E1 3-9x40mm
Setting up a camp loaner gun on the cheap and for under $150 I can get either the Fullfied II or E1.
Not a Burris guy so what's the pros and cons?

I bought the E1 with the illuminated dot on sale. I haven't shot it but a few times but I'm really liking it.

I prefer the B-Plex reticle of the FFII to the regular E1 reticle. The main bars of the E1 do not extend all the way to the edge. Note: the E1 illuminated is different, and a nice reticle.

The only con I saw is I had to go to a high set of rings to get it to fit the rifle. The power ring is rather large. If it is a durable scope it is a winner in my mind.

I have several Signature Selects and an E1 30mm. All flawless. A couple of my gun crank buddies swear by the FF-IIs as well.

Have several "budget" Burris scopes and they all work well, but the 3-9xx40 FFII is the one I'd pick for a "loaner" rifle.

I bought an E1 4.5-14x42 with LRMOA reticle for my .270 for $218 off eBay yesterday. That’s probably the best deal on a scope if you plan on taking shots under 500 yards.

After checking them out I ordered 2, a Burris 2-7x35 with ballistic plex rimfire for my TC RC22 and a Fullfield II ballistic plex 3-9x40 for my camp gun.
thanks for all that replied.

Picked up a Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40mm Matte Black Ballistic Plex for $107 it will work perfectly on the new Ruger American in 243 I got for $239 shipped. Perfect camp gun that I have $346 in it. I could not be happier with the setup especially at this price!!! I have less in this setup than most of my scopes

scope off of ebay, the 243 from Tombstone tactical. I was using the app gun.deals and found it on a Saturday so I grabbed one but I looked Sunday and it was back to $349.

Is the german 4 dot discontinued? Can't seem to find that one

I see it at Natchez, but out of stock. I see 2 models, 3-9x40 and 3-9x50. Both have 3P #4 reticle and both are out of stock. How do these do in low light situations?

SdupontJR- they are great in low light. I compared it side by side with my vx3 3-9x40 and it gave up absolutely nothing as we compared the two past dusk. I was fully expecting the VX 3 to outlast it but myself and a friend both agreed.
. BTW , maybe I missed something but to be clear those two at Natchezss had an illuminated dot as well.

Several of us just used the heck out of the Fullfield II 3x9 several years ago. We put them on 30-06, 35 Whelen AI, 300WM, 375 H&H and my last one was on a &mm RUM. I had it figured out with my 140 TTSX load to 700yds! They never gave us a problem!
